EPILOGUE
My Conclusions after reviewing these “Feelings” of Padma Singh I had the proud privilege to review this book of “Feelings” of Padma Singh and have drawn some conclusions that I wish to express for the readers:
- Human feelings cannot be fully and adequately expressed in words only or the looks from our eyes because they are not that easy to understand. What we can do is to trust the people who are dear to us.
- Feelings are a magnificent attribute of all human beings to being a good human.
- Explaining our feelings to others is one of the hardest things to do and Padma has done it extremely well.
- Feelings are just visitors so we should let them come and go as Padma has done.
- Of course our feelings are like waves so we cannot stop them from coming but we can decide which one to surf.
- The best feeling in the world is when the person you like likes you back.
- The best feeling is also when someone appreciates everything about you that someone else took for granted.
- I am of the opinion that we should never waste our feelings on someone who doesn’t value them.
- I also feel that the more we hide our feelings, the more they show and the more we deny our feelings, the more they grow.
- In my interaction with humanity I observed that all of us can be great not only due to our intellect but also our feelings.
- I do not think that we should trust people whose feelings change with time but let us trust people whose feelings remain the same even when the time changes.
- Accepting, expressing and sharing our feelings like Padma has done brings texture to our life and pulls us into our stories and poems that we are telling our readers.
- After reading these presentations I am convinced that to live well in this complex world we cannot run away from our feelings but we must learn how to integrate them into our life and let them guide us, as the protagonists of Padma have done.
- Finally I have learnt from these stories and poems of Padma that I should always tell people how I feel because as she has ably shown that opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but our regrets can last for a lifetime.
- So my prayer for the readers is this: Dear Lord when feelings of inferiority, insecurity and self-doubt creep into our hearts, please Lord help us to see ourselves the way You do.
